Electrocatalytic polyvinylidene fluoride defluorination with water mediation at room temperature
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a widely used recalcitrant per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) polymer, poses environmental challenges in its defluorination because conventional thermal methods release toxic volatile fluorinated compounds (VFCs). Here, we report an electrochemical water-mediated strategy for effi...
